Photo AI presents itself as an AI photographer for stills and videos of people. The homepage says to upload selfies, create an AI character, then take photos in any pose, place, or action, run packs, try on clothes, or make a video. Creating characters is described as free, each model comes with free photos, and paid memberships issue credits every month.
Use Photo AI when the job starts with one person's photos and ends in styled stills or a short clip of that character. The therapist page says you can generate endless AI photos that look just like you, while credit notes give every membership a monthly allowance and say regular credits expire every month. Endless is the pack page's wording; the credit lines describe a meter. Samples are called real-looking but 100% AI, and the likeness question on the page has no stored answer.
A good fit for
People who can upload photos of a person and want new stills of that character.
Named packs such as therapist headshots, dating sets, or a clothes try-on.
Short character videos with a written prompt and a length-based credit cost.
Know the trade-offs
Regular credits expire every month; extra credits are described as lasting two years.
A referral signup whose link starts with?via=r* is not eligible for a refund.
It includes max's stored line stops at $99 per month.
How Photo AI turns selfies into stills and clips.
A character trained from uploaded photos
Upload selfies, create an AI character, then photograph that model. Remix steps say to open Create new AI model, upload around 20 photos of yourself or someone you hired, open Remix a photo, upload multiple images, and tap Take photo. Now with super fast training meaning you get your first photos in less than a minute! Continue with Google and a Terms of Service checkbox sit on the start screen. Train photo models with AI, and then use the AI Photographer to take photos with them. The page says those pictures look real, but are 100% AI. For each model you create we give you lots of free photos, and creating characters is free. You're only charged the lower Hyper Realism credit rate, not the Nano Banana Pro rate.
Shoot any pose, place, or action, or run hundreds of packs such as Wedding and AI Dating. The menu also lists therapist headshots, virtual try-on clothes, dating-app sets, and a TikTok slideshow generator. A label reads Turn yourself into a T-Pose 3D Model for Mixamo Rigging, with no file format stored. The therapist page describes a neutral background and an approachable look for a practice site. Merge two gallery images with Select at the top right, then Combine photos at the bottom. Couple-photo steps beyond that announcement are not stored. Try-on means clothes on your character, including a batch title and a store virtual try-on. Zoom out is titled uncrop and expand. Tool labels include background removal, crop, face swap, upscale, and HEIC conversion, without per-tool settings.
Video uses a character you already have. Select your character on photoai.com (or create one first, creating characters is free), open the [ Make a video ] tab, and write a prompt describing what happens. The homepage also says to create AI videos starring you and your friends with Seedance 2.5, and a banner adds Seedance 2.5 (Unrestricted). Headings name motion-capture videos and a film editor, with no controls stored. Video pricing scales with length: a 15 second video costs 30 credits, so 5s is 10 credits, 10s is 20, and a full 30 second single-take clip is 60 credits. A batch prompt can return to the prompt box for another run.
Every type of membership receives a certain amount of credits every month. An annual subscription still renews credits every month. Unlike regular credits that expire every month, extra credits only expire after 2 years and you can top them up at any time in case you need to generate more content. The control is tap Buy more credits. The pricing page lists 50 AI Credits per month on Starter and 1,000 AI Credits per month on Pro. Referrals pay both sides. Sign up, click the logo, open the referral program, and copy the link. If someone signs up, you and them too (!) will get 1000 free credits for Pro/Premium/Ultra users. And 100 free credits for Starter users. Those referral credits do not expire. Yearly checkout is over 50% cheaper, which means 6+ months free compared with monthly pricing.
For a counselor starts on the therapist pack. Create the model, upload the training photos, then generate the pack for a practice site or professional profile. The page promises a neutral background and an approachable look, and it leads with up to 230% more engagement. Customer quotes on the same page describe selfies, training, and a counseling website. They are vendor testimonials, not evidence collected here. The likeness FAQ has no stored answer, so compare any portrait with the training photos before you publish it.
Dating, social, and outfit sets
Another suggested use is dating profiles, a trip, or a new outfit. The homepage names Wedding and AI Dating, and the menu adds Bumble, Hinge, Tinder, Instagram, and virtual try-on clothes. Order on the page is character first, then the pack, including a batch try-on title. Pack names are themes, not a frame count. Crop, background removal, and upscale are separate labels.
An influencer character or a product clip
That is not your own face is the homepage's 100% AI influencer, then photos and product videos of that character. Build the character, try clothes, then open the video tab and write what happens. A 15 second clip is listed at 30 credits. Income lines near that copy name other AI personalities, not Photo AI results. Camera footage you already shot starts outside this character-and-prompt flow.

Homepage text says thousands of free photos for Ultra plan subscribers
Creating characters is described as free and each model is promised free photos, so the offer is freemium, not a fully paid lock. Subscriptions are still paid. The 6 MONTHS FREE banner is a yearly discount, not a plan named Free. If you’ve used someone’s referral link (starts with?via=r*), you are not eligible for a refund because we credit both you and the referrer’s account with free credits.
You want prompt-led images that are not tied to a selfie-trained character.
Photo AI uploads photos, trains a person, then shoots packs or a Seedance clip of that person. Midjourney is a separate image entry for prompt-led pictures that do not start from that training step.
You need general video instead of a clip of a Photo AI character.
Photo AI video selects a character, opens the Make a video tab, and spends credits by length, with 15 seconds listed at 30 credits. Runway is a separate video entry for footage that does not start as that model.
You want a general image workspace rather than person packs.
Photo AI pages center on one person's model, therapist-style packs, try-on labels, and a credit meter. Leonardo AI is another image entry for work that does not follow that upload-then-pack sequence.
Photo AI: common questions
Does Photo AI publish a free plan priced at zero?
Creating characters is described as free, and each model comes with free photos, but subscriptions are paid and memberships receive monthly credits. No plan is named Free. The 6+ months free line is a yearly discount, not a zero-price plan.
A 15 second video costs 30 credits, and a 30 second single-take clip costs 60 credits. The stored table stops there. Still-image credits are compared, not counted, between Hyper Realism and Nano Banana Pro.
Regular credits expire every month, even on an annual subscription, which still refreshes monthly. Extra credits only expire after 2 years, and referral credits do not expire. No grace period is stated.
A referral link that starts with?via=r* is not eligible for a refund, because both accounts receive free credits. No window is stated for other checkouts. Billing copy says a yearly subscription is cancelled immediately, then login opens the pricing table.
What should I upload, and how do I merge two photos?
Upload around 20 photos of yourself or someone you hired. A FAQ asks what type of photos to use and does not add lighting or file-type rules. To merge, press Select in the gallery, choose two photos, and press Combine photos.
